Located in the ever popular north Norfolk village of Stanhoe, Grange Barn is a somewhat discreet property as it is only when you walk around and into its central courtyard that you really get a sense of how much space there is.

The barn is entered via the kitchen, dining and family room which, with its vaulted ceiling, wooden beams and oak floor, is quite simply a stunning room. The kitchen area is practical and with its central island is also sociable. Come the summer, pull open the bi-folding doors and it can be light and airy, ideal for hot summer evenings. Next door is the more informal sitting room with a corner log burner creating a snug and comforting atmosphere.

There are two good sized double bedrooms on the ground floor and they have use of a downstairs bathroom whilst upstairs there are two substantial double bedroom suites and both with plenty of built in storage.

Outside and to the rear the current owners have been very clever and created additional living and work space with a fully enclosed south facing garden room, which is ideal as a games room or even spill over accommodation. For those who need somewhere quiet to work there is also a separate home office.

The courtyard garden is part patio and part lawn, so very easy to maintain, and there are two large outdoor storage sheds for your garden furniture, bicycles and paddle boards.

Grange Barn has been a much loved family main home for several years and with the popularity of The Duck Inn there are many who move to the village to be within walking distance of this celebrated watering hole. Of course, with four bedrooms and the simple courtyard garden, it would make an ideal second home or holiday home investment.

 

STANHOE A small rural village, Stanhoe is centred around a large duck pond. The Duck Inn, an award winning gastropub, offers the very best in locally sourced produce. The village also has a church, All Saints, one of six churches which along with the parishes of Bircham, Sedgeford and Docking make up the United Benefice of Docking. The village hall, also known as the Reading Room offers many village activities and in 2012, a village screen was setup to provide film shows inside.

Approximately 7 miles away is Brancaster, justly famous for its mussels and one of the most desirable coastal villages on the north Norfolk Coast with its heritage coastline and fine sandy beaches in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a very good public house, The Ship, and there is also a village hall with shop and club, and a primary school. The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club is at Brancaster with its fine links course. There are also sailing facilities at Brancaster Staithe.

Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world famous horse trials or a well-earned afternoon spent browsing its pretty boutiques – there are plenty of ways to experience Burnham Market, just four miles away from Stanhoe.

Eating out is a joy here with award winning Socius serving a British-inspired tapas menu on the edge of Foundry Place, and NoTwenty9's bar, restaurant and courtyard provides a relaxed spot to wine and dine on warm summer's nights. Fashion counts on the Champagne coast and for chic style head to Anna's boutique or 'next gen' department store Percy Langley, make it fancy at The Hat Shop, go country at Gun Hill Clothing Company or casual at Joules or Jack Wills.

For a little culture, peruse Burnham Market's art galleries – the Fairfax Gallery has been exhibiting for more than 20 years and Pococks the Artmonger has an eclectic display. Or if you have little ones in tow, don't miss a trip to Mable's – unmissable with its pretty pink frontage – where you can encourage their artistic talent with a pot painting session or treat them to a bag of traditional sweets.
